Asynchronous bandwidth limiting

[Sebastian Lechte]

Hi everyone,


I plan to set up a tor node later this week and have been reading
documentation and different wikis. I have found how I can limit the
total bandwidth the server will consume.

My hoster only limits outgoing traffic, but as far as I understand, it
is not possible to specify bandwidth-limits separately for incoming and
outgoing traffic.

Would it be good to be able to specify limits for outgoing or incoming
traffic separately, or would that only complicate matters without
providing any benefit?
Do incoming and outgoing traffic/bandwidth even differ significantly?
Does this depend on the type of node and exit-policy (if any) one uses?

I have no experience and have not found specific information on this, so
I hope that the list members can provide information on this question or
provide directions for further reading.


Sincerely,

S.Lechte
